One night only!

The Imagine Science Film Festival, now on its 9th year, exists to go beyond the expectations of either the traditional science documentary or the conventions of genre sci-fi, by merging art and science in films that astound, dazzle, and provoke thought across many genres and styles. In ISFF programs, innovative new research and stunning data visualizations exist alongside surreal scientific stories and sci-inspired experimental film.

Even within these ideas, some of the most exciting and unique works received each year are those which most resolutely defy categorization or definition as a "science film". For these films, difficult to find a spot for, yet essential to show, we've created OPTIC NERVES: sometimes disorienting, often visually arresting, always surprising. Join us for a one-night program of mysterious optical experiments, traumatic medical experiences, and sci-fi avant-garde reflections on identity in a post-digital age.

Including works by Laure Prouvost, Peter Burr, Susan Young, Albéric Aurteneche, Heidi Stokes, Lei Lei, Ben Balcom, Miryam Charles, Anja Dornieden & Juan David González Monroy and Kangmin Kim.
